...Henry James as a Novelist," by Mr. S.D. Richardson, is interesting, and shows much appreciation and real insight. Still it is not wholly satisfactory, failing to give any decided impression. Mr. C. T. Semper's study of George Eliot's "Silas Marner" is of a different tone from anything the Monthly has ever published, and because of the very variety is offers is good reading. The study is even philosophical, without the heaviness that so often goes with philosophy; and deep, without the oppressiveness of depth...
...author of "The Banker's Daughter," "Young Mrs. Winthrop," and "One of Our Girls," all of which Harvard students have seen acted with pronounced success. Plays of Mr. Howard are at present on the boards at London, Paris, and New York. We understand that Mr. Howard will give some insight into his method of writing a play.

Of course the details of office work can only be learned in this...
...will meet the approbation of a very large number of students in college. Every man, especially he who intends to go into business, ought to know at least the elements of law; indeed it is a part, and a very essential part of a liberal education to have some insight, however slight, into the wokings of the legal machine, and there is no course in the Law School which is calculated to give this knowledge. Such a course should be comprehensive, but free from technicalities. Some of the law professors could deliver the lectures, and the expense therefore could...
